Vira Someshwara

Vira Someshwara

Vira Someshwara (Kannada: ವೀರ ಸೋಮೇಶ್ವರ) (1235 - 1254 CE) was a king of the Hoysala Empire. The preoccupation of Vira Narasimha II in the affairs of Tamil country resulted in neglect of northern territories and Vira Someshwara had to face Seuna incursion south of the Tungabhadra river.

Tamil country politics

During the time period 1225- 1250, the Hoysalas consolidated their domination over the South Deccan by asserting complete influence on the Cholas and the Pandyas. Someshwara was actually called "Mamadi" or "uncle" by the kings of Tamil country. Magadai Mandalam was conquered by Veera Somesvara in1236. He allied himself with Chola Rajendra III but made friendship with the Pandyas when the Chola king tried to invade Pandya territory in 1238. Later having defeated Rajendra III, Someshwara again fought for the cause of the Cholas against the Pandyas.

In 1254 Someshwara divided his kingdom between his two sons, Ramanatha who ruled from Kannanur and Narasimha III who ruled from Halebidu. Like his father Narasimha II, Someshwara stayed back at Kannanur with Ramanatha where he was killed in a war with the Pandyas.
